Upbeat Detroit Pictures

I come across so many upbeat and feel good Detroit images that I thought I would start a thread on just that. Please feel free to add yours pictures and/or your comments. I'll lead off with photos from around Labor Day 2019.

Diners at the San Morino outside the new Shinola Hotel on a once long-dead strip of Woodward Avenue.

Inn on Ferry Street Addition and Restoration progresses.

Diners at Prime+Proper on a once dead corner of Capitol Park.

The gorgeously restored Stott soars above Capitol Park and beams in the late summer sun.

A full house at the the Detroit Institute of Arts Rivera Courts enjoy a free Friday night concert.

Drove through downtown yesterday and its soo cool to see people walking around and the many different and VERY nice establishments. Detroit has come further in the last 5 years than it has in the last 50!

Restoration and renovation of the corner of Woodward and Baltimore nears completion. The decades-long abandoned properties have been transformed into residential lofts. Around the corner from the White Castle sign, a larger residential development is midway through completion. Rail lines of the recently launched light rail Q-line, linking this New Center location to Downtown Detroit, appear in the foreground. https://www.detroityes.com/mb/showthread.php?20588-14-million-New-Center-Development-at-Woodward-and-Baltimore

The formerly bleak Milwaukee Junction rises. In the foreground, a recently restored condo/commercial project on Milwaukee at Beaubien features the bar Kiesling, on the corner, already anointed as one of Detroitâ€™s hotspot pubs. Brown-papered windows to its left mask a soon-to-be-opened coffee house. $250K condos above and below are already sold and occupied. Behind work progresses on the nine story â€śChromaâ€ť located on E. Grand Blvd. and Beaubien. The former storage warehouse is being converted into a co-working space and a food hall.
